Untouched Heer M43 field cap

Untouched Heer M43 field cap with period sewn trapezoid. Out of all the M43 field caps I have sold through the years; this is by far one of the most interesting ones. The cap is in untouched, as found condition and has not been cleaned. Interestingly enough; the cap has a set of three Gefreiter chevrons sewn inside the peak of the cap as a reinforcement. This is a wartime modification and retains the same wear and grime as the rest of the cap. Another interesting wartime modification is a repair to the top button which has lost its ring but has been resewn through two holes punched in the centre. There is some moth damage to the back and the side of the cap, otherwise it’s a great study object.
